Why didn't Su Muxi defend herself when Su Xing was selling fake medicine?
Why hasn't Su Muxi mentioned sending a message out since entering the city?
Moreover, judging from Su Muxi's expression, why doesn't she care about Su Xing's crimes?
Could it be that Su Muxi has other plans, and is confident in them?
But he had already surrounded the entire Fukang County, so even if Su Xing escaped from the prison, he would definitely not be able to escape Fukang County.
Most importantly, whether Su Xing lives or dies is not important; what matters is taking the opportunity to implicate the entire Su family, enrage the emperor, and punish the entire Su family.
They had been planning this for a long time, and they thought it was foolproof.
So what solution can Su Muxi come up with to break this deadlock?
After taking the medicine, the people's symptoms were relieved considerably, and they all saw hope.
Some people who were not seriously ill even helped the yamen runners clean up the dirt on the ground.
In the blink of an eye, the sky darkened.
Everyone felt exhausted and extremely hungry.
Bai Zhi and some others had already started cooking porridge nearby. The aroma of rice wafting from the pot made many people unconsciously swallow their saliva.
"I've eaten all sorts of fancy food, but this is the first time I've ever found plain porridge so delicious!"
One of the young men, holding a bowl of white porridge, couldn't wait to take a sip. Even though he burned his tongue, he couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"Normally, I can't eat without three to five dishes, but I never thought I'd be able to drink a whole bowl of plain porridge one day!"
"We're lucky to have any plain porridge. I heard that there's not much grain left in Fukang County. The grain we brought is not enough to share with so many people. I estimate that in less than two days, we won't even have porridge left!"
"Then I'll have to drink another bowl!"
"Drinking ten more bowls won't help! Even if we have enough medicine, we'll starve to death if we can't get food delivered in time!"
"It's alright, I've already sent people home to prepare food. My father should have it delivered in a couple of days!"
Some people remained optimistic, but others looked at the bowl of porridge in their hands and couldn't help but cry.
"Waaah... My father wouldn't let me come to Fukang County, and I even argued with him. Now I regret it! If I hadn't come here, I would be either at Xiankeju or Fanhualou right now, and I wouldn't have to suffer like this!"
"I guess I'll learn from this experience. I don't know why I acted so impulsively and agreed to come to Fukang County with Xie Xuan. I had opportunities to leave along the way, but I missed them all!"
"Alas! It seems that pride is the most useless thing! If I had known, I would have just left the brothel without a second thought from the beginning, and I wouldn't be in this situation now!"
Amidst the sighs of the crowd, some raised questions.
"Why do you think Princess Yong'an tricked us into coming here? Just for the medicinal herbs and food we brought? The Su family couldn't possibly be short of such things and money, could they?"
"Maybe it's just a matter of being stingy? Even Su Xing would adulterate the medicines he receives for such a paltry sum. Maybe the Su family is just that petty!"
"The Su family always gives alms to the people of Jinzhou City during festivals. I guess Su Xing just returned to the Su family and wanted to make some achievements to show for it, so he came up with this opportunistic method. In the end, he harmed himself and others and even implicated the entire Su family!"
"How could the head of the Su family, such a shrewd person, have such a clueless son like Su Xing!"
…
Meanwhile, Zhou Xun, having calmed down, found Tao Rong.
"Brother Tao, have you noticed something's wrong? We're brothers, you can't keep anything from me!"
At first, he thought Tao Rong was blinded by women, but gradually, he realized something was wrong.
Tao Rong treated Su Muxi with only respect, but had absolutely no lustful intentions.
Therefore, Tao Rong's repeated attempts to help Su Muxi must have had some other reason.
Tao Rong hesitated for a moment, then leaned close to Zhou Xun's ear and whispered, "Just don't cause trouble and obediently follow Princess Yong'an's orders."
After saying that, Tao Rong walked away, looking like he didn't want to say anything more.
Zhou Xun stood there, pondering Tao Rong's words repeatedly, but after a long while, he still couldn't figure it out.
Just as Zhou Xun was about to ask Tao Rong again, he saw four people slowly walking towards him from a distance.
It was already completely dark, and the four people had no torches, so their faces were not visible at all.
Seeing the constables who were drinking porridge suddenly stand up and look at the four men warily, Zhou Xun also became nervous.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "It's Su Xing!"
Zhou Xun hurriedly stepped forward, looking surprised as he tried to see who it was.
Among the newcomers, there was actually one who had awakened?
Su Xing committed such a serious crime and finally escaped from prison. Instead of hiding in the city and waiting for an opportunity to escape, he suddenly appeared here openly.
Is it because you feel guilty and don't want to hide anymore, so you've come here to confess your sins?
Or did they hear that Princess Yong'an was coming and feel emboldened?
Su Muxi watched the person slowly approaching and pounced on them without any hesitation.
"Dad! Your daughter misses you so much!"
Su Muxi felt Su Xing's familiar embrace and couldn't help but cry.
After worrying for over a month, she finally saw her father. At this moment, she didn't want to think too much; she just wanted to snuggle in her father's arms like she did when she was a child.
Su Xing was suddenly hugged by Su Muxi, and his vision blurred with tears.
No matter where he goes, the person he misses most now is Xi'er.
"Xi'er, don't cry, Daddy's alright."
As he spoke, Su Xing reached out and gently touched Su Muxi's head, his face full of affection.
Su Muxi slowly released her grip, then looked Su Xing up and down. "Father, how come you've lost so much weight? Don't worry, for every bit of weight you've lost, your daughter will take that amount of flesh from Jia Ren!"
Everyone was stunned by Su Muxi's last words.
What does Princess Yong'an mean by this?!
Are they planning to openly protect Su Xing?!
The most unbelievable one was Jia Ren.
Have Su Muxi and Su Xing gone mad?
